Hi ,I have been resarching the Atkinson's family tree from whitehead ,co antrim and in my great granny will
It says she died at the Royal School Rophoe at the age of 72yrs , why was she there?
 After losing her husband and her three son's she had only a daughter left her family it's looks likely that is went to live
With the daughter  she was named after her mother  ( Juanita ) and she married a Mr Armstrong  ( Thomas Alfred  )
I do believe this them.
They were church of ireland  am just wondering were her grave is
 Hope this helps  best wishes on your resarch

Thanks to datai for sending me all the information about my great grandmother Juanita Constance Atkinson and because of that information she is buried with her husband James and her son Henry. I am so thankful .
When I replied to the names of the pupils and teachers on the photo of the royal school rophoe I said Mr and Mrs Armstrong  ( Headmaster ) Thomas Alfred & Juanita are my family members. This is who am researching now
I have found Thomas Alfred Armstrong retired school teacher come back to his home land of Islandmegee and died in 24/1/1967 his effects was left in the hands of a belfast solicitor  and a I cannot find everything of his wife Juanita,  daughter of Juanita Constance Atkinson can anyone help. Best wishes to everyone. Many thanks
